SBS Struggle Street Promotion Of Mount Druitt - Do You Think This Reflects The Current Community Of Mount Druitt?

SBS is doing series, called 'Struggle Street' on what they call 'Housies' slang for 'NSW Housing Tenants' living within and around Mount Druitt.

The video promotion starts like it is to promote tourists from overseas to come into Sydney, with crystal clear sea water surfer, the beautiful sunny view of Sydney Harbour Bridge then jumps straight into a house full of graffiti, shows a fight, shows a man swearing and  it appears someone with drugs and other lives of people living in NSW Housing flat and houses.

We, in Mount Druitt live in a society that has issues like every area in Sydney but yet we find that the wider press want to expose negative and anti-social situations that may occur. Why is Mount Druitt 'picked on' I'm not sure except it is probably where the wider press (not the local press) think is the best place to exploit people in the lower end of the socioeconomic area. 

This does not represent the larger cross section of Mount Druitt community people, that are proud of their area in every way: young people studying hard obtaining not only secondary qualified education, tertiary qualifications, getting married, working and travelling long distances to get to and from work using buses and trains. Local Councillors making positive improvements of the  area, with the support of NSW State Members and Australian Federal Members of Parliament. There are the pensioners that have worked hard and are retired as well!
  Why did SBS choose Manly or Bondi, Botany, Epping, Ryde and other  plush suburbs in Sydney is because they probably live in those suburbs and didn't want to embarrass where they live.
